RAMALLAH, Monday, May 1, 2023 (WAFA) – The minister of health Mai Kilah condemned in a statement today the Israeli occupation’s aggression against Beit Jala hospital in Bethlehem, in the southern occupied West Bank, including the firing of tear gas bombs into its yards, which caused many patients and those accompanying them to suffocate.
Israeli forces fired deliberately tear gas canisters into the hospital yards, forcing the medical staff to close the first floor of the hospital for the safety of patients. Many patients, including children and elderly and members of the medical staff suffered from suffocation.
The minister called on the international community and international legal and human rights organizations to pressure Israel to stop its aggression against the Palestinian people and medical institutions protected by international law.
